"The Chicago Economics Department was in intellectual ferment, although the central issues of the 1930's were very different from those in later times. I had never before encountered minds of that quality at close quarters and they influenced me strongly."
Quality
"Even before I came to Chicago, I had gotten interested in the existence of dispersion of prices under conditions which economic theory said would yield a single price."
Economy
"I started working and publishing in price theory by 1938."
Education
"My teaching began in 1936 at Iowa State College where T. W. Schultz was the department chairman."
College
"After the war, I returned to Minnesota, from which I soon moved to Brown University, and a year later, to Columbia University where I remained from 1947 until 1958."
War
"I attended schools in Seattle through the University of Washington, from which I was graduated in 1931. I spent the next year at Northwestern University."
Education
"A Swedish physicist can not discuss his work with fifty people unless he goes abroad. A Swedish economist can get opinions and instructions in his native language from thousands upon thousands of his fellow citizens."
Work

Friendship
"That subject has lost its one time appeal to economists as our science has become more abstract, but my interest has even grown more intense as the questions raised by the sociology of science became more prominent."
Science
"My main graduate training was received at the University of Chicago from which I received the Ph.D. in 1938."
